((How strong is Blake?))
Stein smiled. "You are a far too arrogant half-demon." Mia, of course, informed Stein of Sota and Hiei's appraoch, although he'd seen them himself. Such powerful souls were hard to miss. "Fire demon. Bring your friend here. I assume you would not dare ambush a Shinigami?" Stein's pose was arrogant and stiff, his face set, his scars quite well fitting with this newly taken role. Mia, for her part, simply stayed back "And do not prevent to care for your friends. You have denied each of them the pleasures of Heaven, to which I was to guide them. Do you know what happens when a soul can go to neither Heaven nor Hell, and cannot remain here? It is destroyed." Stein's glare was filled with disgust, easily mimicked.

Elsa's magic was a simple, natural magic, guided by her primal instincts. The more fear she felt, the more it would act as if she were in danger, lashing out at those nearby. Quite useful in a survival situation, but the rigors of modern life had created many scary things that could not be solved by freezing them, such as peer pressure, social disgrace, and driving cars. Bob had quite soon understood it's workings, and even now he could see how her fear made her magic lash out, and that, in turn, increased her fear, a viscious cycle. He simply added some extra frost now and again, making sure she could not recover from this fear.

Dragoon hisses, as he moves his hands in an odd pattern, mimicking the zodiac symbols as he called upon the power of Saturnus. He would see just how much punishment this foolish human could take. This was one of his most powerful spells, known for wiping out entire cities, and making an end to armies. Soon, the fool before him would be nothing but dust, scattered on the wind.

Lilith was about to reply to her opponent, when she felt her power suddenly dropping, as Exodus' burst dropped to a sputtering halt. She dropped to the ground for a moment, hissing with pain as she was berated by the OTHER Chaos God that she wanted to kill. "You stupid floating piece of scrap! I need to go through this god in order to GET to the goddamn Primes, rustbrain!" Lilith growled, as she stood once more. While her chances had been slim with Unicron's contract, without it she had no chance of facing Eris and getting through the Optimus. "Well, it seems I find myself at a disadvantage."

Eventually, the cascade of horrors subsided, as Hope was left sobbing in what had once been a beautiful forest, and was now reduced to floating space debris. Looking around, you notice that several nearby stars have been snuffed out, so great was the explosion that followed Hope's 'awakening'. Having expended all of her energy, Hope simply curls into a ball, sobbing slowly, as any space debris that gets to close evaporates.
